HoneyBot is a set of scripts and libraries for capturing and analyzing packet captures with PacketTotal.com. Currently this library provides three scripts:
capture-and-analyze.py– Capture on an interface for some period of time, and upload capture for analysis.upload-and-analyze.py– Upload and analyze multiple packet captures to PacketTotal.com.trigger-and-analyze.py– Listen for unknown connections, and begin capturing when one is made. Captures are automatically uploaded and analyzed.
Warning: Any packet capture uploaded to becomes publicly available upon completed analysis.
Limitations
- Only .pcap and .pcapng files supported.
- 6 MB analysis max.
Use Cases
- Set your honeypot up to stream network traffic directly to PacketTotal.com for analysis.
- Analyze a personal repository of malicious PCAPs.
- Determine the benignity of hundreds of packet captures.
- Automate analyzing (and sharing) honeypot packet captures.
- Automate preliminary malware analysis/triage.
